Stanley, Nova Scotia

Stanley is a community located in the East Hants municipal district, Hants County, Nova Scotia.〔Nearly halfway between the equator and the North Pole, Stanley is 56 kilometres north of Halifax and 23 kilometres east of Windsor, Nova Scotia, on Route 236.〕 Stanley is most famous as the birthplace of the acclaimed Canadian poet Alden Nowlan.
== History ==
Stanley's first settler was New England planter John Smith, who in 1760 established a village on the banks of the Kennetcook River. He was quickly followed by John Anthony (1767) and James Campbell (1772).〔Charles Bruce Fergusson. ''Place-names and Places of Nova Scotia'', Public Archives of Nova Scotia, Halifax: 1967.〕 After the American Revolution, the area became part of Douglas Township (1784) and was settled by soldiers of the British 84th Regiment. In 1883 the community was renamed for Governor General Stanley,〔 after whom the Stanley Cup of the National Hockey League is also named.
During the Second World War (1939–45), the community became the site of Stanley Airport, which the Royal Canadian Air Force used from March 17, 1941 until January 14, 1944, throughout the Battle of the St. Lawrence. Many of the citizens of Stanley assisted the war effort by actively supporting the RCAF in training Commonwealth pilots. Barracks were built for 360 trainees and support staff. The hangar erected to house the aircraft became the largest building in Hants County. Currently, the airport is maintained by the Stanley Sport Aviation group.〔Kevin Layden, (Stanley Fly-in ), 2015.
